Топик (сочинение) по английскому языку на тему «США / USA»
США — страна моей мечты
USA. It is faraway country, on the other side of the world. It is country of contrasts and great opportunities. There are a number of time zones and two oceans, the Pacific and the Atlantic, between us. And what attracts me to it?
The US is state with rich cultural heritage and fascinating history. It has passed a long way of formation and has earned respect from other countries. During the Second World War the US had been a reliable support for the Soviet Union because it had helped much in the fight against the fascism.
America gave the world a lot of great people, such as Abraham Lincoln, James Fenimore Cooper, Ernest Hemingway and Martin Luther King. This list is endless. We should not forget about Christopher Columbus, because he had discovered this previously unknown continent.
A lot of cultures, mentalities and nations are intertwined in America. This has formed the current face of the country. Today, the US is a prosperous country, "the first economy of the world". Many people want to go to the US to get an education, make a career, or just see this truly amazing place.
There are so many beautiful cities in America: big cities such as New York, Los Angeles, Miami as well as little provincial towns. I want to pick out New York City among big cities. I associate New York with lots of yellow taxis on Times Square, crowds of people, who hurry somewhere and of course with skyscrapers and Statue of Liberty. Recently, I wanted to "taste "The Big Apple"". No matter how stupidly it sounds, this ambition appeared, when I was playing video game `Grand theft Auto IV`.
That would be so nice to wake up in the morning and go for a walk on Manhattan, visit the famous Wall Street, see Columbia University, stroll along Broadway, stare at the colorful advertising signs in Times Square. Then, we can go to Central Park for a walk, encountering running people in tracksuits, mummies with prams, people walking their dogs or to sit on green grass. After this we can pop to coffee shop and then go to Liberty Island where a statue with the same name is located, which has become a national symbol of America.
New York is the capital of American fashion. Fashion Weeks are held there. New York City is not only a big beautiful city, but it is one of the world economic centers. Also there is the headquarters of UN.
California will certainly leave nobody indifferent. San Francisco with Cable Cars and Golden Gate Bridge, Silicon Valley and high technologies, San Diego and its Zoo - that`s California.
There are most picturesque beaches of the West coast. I would be glad to be on of these beaches. Lying on golden sand and the sun gently caressing your skin, ocean softly roaring, boys and girls in swimsuits playing beach volleyball and the rescuers attentively watching over what is happening. California is an excellent place for surfing. I would take a lesson from local surfing instructors.
There is also Hollywood in the Golden State, it is the well-known suburbs of Los Angeles. Hollywood had discovered the world-famous stars like Audrey Hepburn, Kirk Douglas, Harrison Ford and Meryl Streep. It is noteworthy, that the governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger, is actor too. By the way, I want to visit the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
It is interesting, that there are two towns, which name is Washington, in America except the capital of the US. The capital of the US, Washington D.C., deserves attention too. What can I say about this city? The government of the USA is situated there and a number of government buildings, like United States Capitol, residence of president of the United States, the White House, and Supreme Court of the United States. Washington D.C. is one of the most beautiful cities of America. Architecture of US Capitol and Supreme Court of the US is amazing. In the US capital we can also see The Lincoln Memorial, inside which the statue of sixteenth president is located. You must see this.
United States of America is a truly great country, with special lifestyle, unique people and its own traditions. My cherished dream is to go there and learn how America really is.
Town of my dream
I imagine it in a following way. The city will be light, thanks to modern buildings which will be painted only in light colours (pink, orange, yellow, light green). Each family will live in the personal cottage with all necessary conveniences: hot and cold water, a central heating, the water drain. All houses (monuments of wooden architecture) will be restored
The river Tom` will be full of valuable breeds of fishes (a sturgeon, a sterlet, muksun) and it will be possible to fish, sitting on river quay, every day. Roads in the city will be wide, smooth-asphalted, and movement without "traffic jams". Instead of the airport will be spaceport to reach any city of our country in some minutes. There will be a zoo in the city where it will be possible to see all animals of Siberia, our country and the world.
Children`s entertaining parks with set of amusing attractions and absolutely free that children with parents visited them daily. In a city will be grown up Siberian berries and mushrooms all year long in hothouses. Tomsk will be the capital of the winter Olympic Games in 2060. Our Tomsk doctors and hospitals will be the best in the country and we won`t have problems with our health thanks to new technologies, the Siberians will live till 150 years. The best universities of the country will be in the city of Tomsk, all inhabitants will be clever, well -educated and creative people. A lot of kindergartens with the best beautiful children`s toys will be in our future city. All schools will be comfortable, well equipped and full of new information technology.
Here are my dreams about our Tomsk in the future.
I believe that Tomsk will be such unusual and one of the best cities in Siberia.
Город моей мечты
Я думаю, что почти все люди на земле мечтают или представляют город будущего по - своему. Вот я, например, представляю его так.
Город будет светлый, благодаря современным зданиям, которые будут окрашены только в светлые цвета (розовый, оранжевый, жёлтый, светло-зелёный). Каждая семья будет жить в своём личном коттедже со всеми необходимыми удобствами: горячая и холодная вода, центральное отопление, канализация. Все дома (памятники деревянного зодчества) будут отреставрированы.
Река Томь будет полна ценных пород рыб (осётр, стерлядь, муксун) и можно будет рыбачить ежедневно, сидя на набережной реки.
Дороги в городе будут широкими, гладко-асфальтированными, а движение без "пробок". Вместо аэропорта будет космопорт, чтобы мы могли добраться до любого города нашей страны за несколько минут.
В городе будет зоопарк, где можно будет увидеть всех животных Сибири, нашей страны и мира.
Детские развлекательные парки с множеством забавных аттракционов и совершенно бесплатные, чтобы дети с родителями посещали их ежедневно.
В городе будут построены теплицы, в которых будут выращиваться сибирские ягоды и грибы круглый год. Томск будет столицей зимней олимпиады . Наши томские врачи и больницы будут самыми лучшими в стране, Сибиряки будут жить до 150 лет.
Самые лучшие университеты страны в городе Томске, все жители умные и образованные, креативные.
Много детских садов с самыми лучшими красивыми детскими игрушками, школы города уютные и хорошо оборудованные всеми новыми информационными технологиями.
Вот моё представление о нашем любимом Томске в будущем, и я верю, что он будет именно таким необыкновенным и самым лучшим за внимение♥
